MS Office Forum / Word / General MS Word Questions / March 2008can phrases be automatically be typed in?
I miss the autotext replacement in 2003 WHAT REPLACES IT? In word 2007 Quick Parts, the building blocks do work as I type, IF I am inserting long sentences. But I can't get it to replace as I type. I used to insert common phrases all the time. Now, I can't. Does it recognize one and two word phrases and can it automatically type them in? Am I putting it in the wrong place? > I miss the autotext replacement in 2003 > WHAT REPLACES IT?

The "AutoCompletion" feature that pops up a tag and lets you press Enter is not available in Word 2007, but you can still type the phrase and press F3 to insert the AutoText entry. An alternative is to use AutoCorrect instead of AutoText. Everyone hopes that AutoComplete will return at some point. Its absence is certainly one of the two or three most frequent complaints about Word 2007, and the Microsoft team is well aware of that.
